"Cannes: Brian Grazer, Ron Howard Introduce Imagine 2.0"

6/16/2013

Imagine has hardly stepped away from the big-ticket feature, and has numerous ones that are ready to go at Universal.

That includes Made In America, a film that Howard shot for Imagine and Participant Media, as Jay-Z last year curated the Budweiser Made In America music festival on his home turf in Philadelphia; there is James Brown, a film on the Godfather Of Soul that will shoot late this summer with The Help’s Tate Taylor directing. Grazer, Mick Jagger and the Brown estate are producing a film that will likely discover an actor to lip synch the original masters of Brown’s hits around the tale of a wild life.
